Example text
There is joy in the dance, but it does not exist for the sake of joy. It does not even exist for the sake of good, or of love. It is Love Himself, and Good Him self, and therefore happy. It does not exist for us, but we for it. The size and emptiness of the universe which frightened us at the outset of this book, should awe us still, for though they may be no more than a subjective by-product of our threedimensional imagining, yet they 39 c. s. lewis symbolise great truth. As our Earth is to all the stars, so doubtless are we men and our concerns to all creation; as all the stars are to space itself, so are all creatures, all thrones and powers and mightiest of the created gods, to the abyss of the self-existing Being, who is to us Father and Redeemer and indwelling Comforter, but of whom no man nor angel can say nor conceive what He is in and for Him self, or what is the work that he ‘maketh from the beginning to the end’.
There are chinks. At times the daily scene looks big with its secret. Such is my opinion; and it may be erroneous. Perhaps this secret desire 25 c. s. lewis also is part of the Old Man and must be crucified before the end. But this opinion has a curious trick of evad ing denial. The desire—much more the satisfaction—has always refused to be fully present in any experience. Whatever you try to identify with it, turns out to be not it but something else: so that hardly any degree of cru cifixion or transformation could go beyond what the desire itself leads us to anticipate.
Again, if this opinion is not true, something better is. But ‘something better’—not this or that experience, but beyond it—is almost the definition of the thing I am try ing to describe. 26 Made for Heaven The thing you long for summons you away from the self. Even the de sire for the thing lives only if you abandon it. This is the ultimate law— the seed dies to live, the bread must be cast upon the waters, he that loses his soul will save it. But the life of the seed, the finding of the bread, the re covery of the soul, are as real as the preliminary sacrifice.
